Minister Patrick Chinamasa, Stammering Lost For Words On BBC Hardtalk to presenter, Zeinab Badawi., Over Zimbabwe’s Deplorable Health Situation
“We should go for a situation where most Zimbabweans are seeking treatment at home and not outside!” replied the Minister, after repeated attempt to avoid answering the question. The question of Mugabe and his family jetting off at the drop of a hat even for the most routine health checks is, without doubt, the one question that took the Minister way outside his comfort zone.
The President’s daughter and her entourage of security details and the usual hangers-on jetted off to the Far East and were there for more than a month. The President’s wife and her entou-rage then joined the daughter and they too were there for more than a month. Then the Presi-dent too jetted off with his own even bigger team of security details and hangers-on in a hired Air Zimbabwe Jet to pick up his daughter, wife, grandson, and their entourage. He did not land, pick them up and fly back; no he was in the Far East three days.
The bill for Bona and her en-tourage’s airfare, hospital and hotel bill and similarly Grace and her entourage and, of course, Mugabe’s bill were all at public expense. Mugabe’s overseas health checks cost US$3 million; in 2012 alone he made 12 such trips. The cost to the nation of Mugabe’s grandson must be US$10 million, at least! Wilbert Mukori. Bulawayo24
